Public
Safety/Fire Safety
|
The
Public Safety and Fire Protection Funds were established to aid the
Parish’s six volunteer fire departments and to pay
a portion of the expense to provide emergency
medical services to the Parish.
The funds receive their revenues from a
dedicated property tax millage.
The fire departments use their portion of the
property tax to maintain their buildings and
vehicles and to purchase supplies and equipment.
Additionally,
this fund provides monies to the Parish for
assistance to residents during emergencies and
natural disasters with cleanup operations and
repairs to public infrastructure.
Major
capital expenditures and programs are reviewed and
funded by the Volunteer Firemen’s Association of
St. James, Inc., which has representation from each
of the six fire departments. To report
emergencies or request assistance, call 911 or the
Parish EOC at (225) 562-2364.
